PEG Tube Placement

The placement is performed using an endoscope, which allows us to view the inside of the stomach while guiding the placement of the feeding tube. The entire process is minimally invasive, typically requiring only a local anesthetic at the site of the incision. Because we use endoscopic guidance, we can ensure the tube is placed in the precise, optimal location, enhancing patient safety and ensuring long-term functionality.

Following the procedure, most patients recover quickly and can often begin using the tube for nutrition within 24 hours. Our team provides comprehensive training to both patients and their caregivers, covering essential aspects such as tube maintenance, cleaning, site care to prevent infection, and how to safely administer feeds. We are committed to ensuring you feel confident and supported in managing the PEG tube at home.

While PEG tube placement is a routine procedure, it is a significant medical intervention. Our focus is on precision, patient safety, and minimizing discomfort. With years of experience in endoscopic procedures, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care, ensuring the procedure is performed safely and that all follow-up support is readily available for our patients.
